<A NAME="TI1607"></A><p>To define a connection through the DirectConnect interface,
you must create a database profile by supplying values for at least
the basic connection parameters in the Database Profile Setup -
DirectConnect dialog box. You can then select this profile anytime
to connect to your database in the development environment.</p>
